His compositions, though amateur, are remembered for their unique and strange charm. Beyond music, Berners was a prolific writer and painter, capturing the essence of his vibrant life and the people who surrounded him, including his lover, Robert Heber-Percy, affectionately known as the "Mad Boy." His works offer a glimpse into a world of opulence, intrigue, and artistic brilliance.
